    "content": "I am very passionate because as we speak, the KFCB falls under the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology. We all understand that most of the film work that is done is mostly cultural. It is thought that most of the issues done by the KFCB should fall under the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage. However, pursuant to an executive order by the President, KFCB is now under the Ministry of ICT. We would not like them to feel like they have been condemned to a ministry where they shall be suffering from irrational budgets. We have come straight from the Kenya National Drama Festivals at the national level. We always ask ourselves what will happen to the actors when they leave the stage at the nationals. Here is a solution being offered by KFCB. They are saying that they shall be investing some Government money in creating platforms where young people can create films out of their stage plays. These will be staged to a ready audience of over 17 million young children in schools. On movie nights during Saturdays, instead of them watching Nigerian, American or Bollywood movies, they can watch local content by talent grown by our students and produced to movies, so that we can start recreating our own local stars. Ultimately, we will be pushing forward the agenda of growing a national values conversation through our content creation done by our children. Eventually, this will create a lot of employment in film manufacturing. It will push the Big Four Agenda and Vision 2030. Ultimately, it will go all the way up to the African Union (AU) Vision of 2063. I passionately support this amendment by Hon. Maanzo. Thank you for the opportunity."
